Gyeonggi-do and the Gyeonggi Business and Science Accelerator are recruiting companies to participate in the "Gyeonggi-do AI Global Competency Enhancement Program," which supports domestic and international market entry for AI small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups in the province. Applications will be accepted until May 22.
The program consists of two tracks: "AI Value-Up" and "NGG (NVIDIA Gyeonggi Growth)." Ten companies will be selected for each track, providing them with tailored global expansion opportunities.
AI Value-Up is a program that supports global investor relations (IR) training, overseas client discovery, and dispatches to Silicon Valley. Priority will be given to AI or AX (AI Transformation) SMEs and startups in the province that demonstrate high potential for attracting global investment or have the capability to pursue overseas open innovation and proof-of-concept (PoC) projects.
NGG is a Gyeonggi-do specialized global inception program that fosters AI startups in collaboration with the global AI big tech company NVIDIA. Eligible applicants are startups based in the province that possess deep tech (AI+Data, Network, 5G, SaaS, Quantum Computer, etc.) related to AI and have been in business for less than seven years.
Companies wishing to participate can apply online through the Gyeonggi Enterprise Secretary website (egbiz.or.kr).
Kim Kibyung, Director of AI at Gyeonggi-do, stated, "We have prepared programs to strengthen the technological and business capabilities of AI startups in the province so they can succeed in attracting overseas investment and expanding their sales channels," adding, "We will continue to strengthen the AI ecosystem so that AI companies can collaborate and take the lead in the global market."
